And there's a (slight) chance we could build it in our lifetimes.
This is why a team of researchers ran the numbers on building a colossal hadron collider around the moon's circumference and found that a roughly 6,835-mile Circular Collider on the Moon would generate a proton-proton center-of-mass collision energy of 14 PeV, according toIn case you missed it, that energy level is one thousand times higher than that of the Large Hadron Collider at CERN, if we assume a dipole magnetic field of 20 T.
Of course, this is all theory and math, but with so much commercial activity planned for future missions to the lunar surface, a gigantic science-heavy mission like this is a breath of fresh air.The researchers also presented reflections on siting and construction, in addition to machine parameters, powering, and accommodations for building, operating, and testing a hadron collider in the relative vacuum of the lunar surface.
